One glance at a phone is all it takes. A driver looks down to read a text, drifts into your lane, and in a split second your life changes. Texting while driving car accidents in Birmingham are on the rise, and they’re completely preventable. When someone chooses their phone over your safety, you have every right to be upset and to seek justice.
Distracted driving cases can get complicated fast, and proving someone was texting takes experience and the right evidence. An experienced car accident lawyer can find that proof and hold the driver accountable. At Massey Injury Law, we treat you like a friend, not a file number, and we keep you informed at every turn.
The state takes distracted driving seriously. Under Alabama Code § 32-5A-350, drivers can’t write, send, or read texts while operating a vehicle, and they can’t hold a phone in their hand under the state’s hands-free law. It’s a clear rule, and breaking it puts everyone on the road in danger.
When a driver breaks a safety law by texting while driving and causes a car crash in Birmingham, that violation can be powerful evidence that they were careless. An attorney from our team can use the driver’s illegal behavior to help prove they’re responsible for your injuries.
This is where having an experienced legal team yields results. Distracted drivers rarely admit they were texting, so we search for proof. Our team knows how to gather the evidence that shows what really happened, including:
Once we have the facts, we aggressively pursue your claim. We’re not afraid to fight big insurance companies and take your case to trial if that’s necessary to win. Choosing the right Birmingham lawyer can make a difference in how much you recover following a distracted driving car wreck.
A Birmingham distracted driving car crash claim is about more than proving the other driver was texting. It’s about making sure you get everything you’re owed. Insurance companies want to settle fast and cheap, and they count on you not knowing the real value of your case.
That’s where we can help. We add up the full cost of your crash, from emergency care and follow-up treatment to lost wages and the pain you’ve lived with. Then we push for a settlement that actually covers it. Time matters too. Under Ala. Code § 6-2-38, you generally have two years from the crash to file, and evidence such as phone records can disappear quickly. The sooner you bring in a lawyer, the stronger your case will be.
Texting while driving car accidents in Birmingham can result in serious injuries and real bills, and you shouldn’t have to carry that burden alone. That’s why you need the right legal team to take your case.
At Massey Injury Law, you’re a Friend of the Firm. While most firms charge 33% or more, our friendly 25% fee means more money stays with you for your recovery.
